“Go Pink!” with Martin Engineering for October Breast Cancer Month

The global leader in bulk material conveying and flow solutions, Martin Engineering, has expanded its popular annual “Go Pink!” program to support the Susan G. Komen® Foundation in its efforts to fund breast cancer education, screening, treatment, and research worldwide.

When customers purchase the Cougar® DC Truck Vibrator, Cougar® THD Hydraulic Vibrator, or – new for 2025 – the Vibrotor™ CCR Railcar Vibrator with wedge bracket, the firm donates a portion of its sales to the Komen Foundation.

Martin Engineering staff from around the world have expanded the cause and participated in similar efforts. In the U.S., together with its donations, the company hosts a team in the MORE THAN PINK Walk^® held in Peoria, Illinois, to show support and raise individual contributions to this worthy cause.

Since its founding in 1982, the Susan G. Komen foundation has raised over $3 billion in more than 60 countries. With a mission to support those with the fewest resources, it has helped reduce breast cancer-related deaths by an estimated 40 percent.

Operators choose the Vibrotor CCR Railcar Vibrator with wedge bracket for its versatility and portability. During transport, the weight of the raw material can settle, causing compaction that prevents cargo from evacuating when the bottom gate is opened. The economical Vibrotor delivers effective high-frequency vibration that generates enough force to move the material. Its lightweight handle design allows a single worker to quickly and easily transfer it from one wedge bracket to another, enhancing efficiency and reducing demurrage.

The reliable and durable truck vibrators Cougar TDC Truck Vibrators and Cougar THD Hydraulic Vibrators replace OEM vibrators that tend to have a limited service life. The TDC and THD reduce manual labor and downtime while ensuring the safe evacuation of material from the bed. They mitigate the common practice of raising the bed to “rock” or “jostle” trucks, which can risk a tip over and significantly decrease the life of the fleet. Manually removing adhered material from a truck bed can be dangerous and time/labor intensive. Faster unloading increases the number of trips by operators, improves efficiency, and reduces the cost of operation.
